Question

I want to use a symmetric key with openiddict server and clients. I see that Zirku Server and Api2 use a symmetric key. And that's all I understand. I do not see how to run Client2 (if thats what I need to do) and Server and Api2. Is there some explanation on how to run this and to show the token being verified, because right now I am lost.

Any help you can provide would be very useful

I do not see how to run Client2 (if thats what I need to do) and Server and Api2.

You don't have to run Client2: it's just a JS demo for those who want to see a minimal JS sample. If you prefer trying a .NET client, run Client1 instead.

Regarding Api2, it's a regular .NET app, just select Api1, Api2, Client1 and Server as the startup projects in VS or call dotnet run in each folder to ensure all these apps are started.

Let me know if you need additional guidance.
